Parasite director announces upcoming anime movie UniversalAfter making waves in Hollywood, Parasite director Bong Joon-ho has his sights on the world of anime, as he announced during this year\u2019s Crunchyroll Anime Awards. It\u2019s hard to believe it\u2019s been four years since Bong Joon-ho\u2019s Parasite won Best Picture at the Academy Awards. Having made Snowpiercer, The Host, and Okja beforehand, Bong was already firmly established as a mastermind of genre filmmaking. However, Parasite\u2019s success firmly shoved him into the mainstream, the South Korean satire opening many audiences to a vibrant new world of movies. That\u2019s a tough act to follow, and Bong has been developing a number of projects since. We have his next live-action new movie, Mickey 17 with Robert Pattinson, due out in the near future. He\u2019s confirmed a step into animation before, and has now announced another project, an anime movie happening in Japan. Bong Joon-Ho is working on an anime movie During the 2024 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, Bong Joon-ho revealed that he\u2019s actively developing an animated movie in Japan. He dropped the news as a preamble to presenting the award for Anime of the Year, and stated that just the day before, he was working on the project. Nothing else was said, but the news is exciting enough. Though he hasn\u2019t worked strictly within animation before, Bong has done several effects-heavy pictures, such as Snowpiercer and Okja. A different realm, certainly, there\u2019s crossover in terms of respecting the craft and process of artists across multiple disciplines. Bong Joon-ho stepping into anime could truly equal something spellbinding, especially if he collaborates with an outfit like MAPPA or Studio Bones. It\u2019s worth noting he already has another anime film in the works in South Korea. As yet, we don\u2019t know if these projects are linked, or if he\u2019s casting a wide net while developing ideas. In any case, something to celebrate! More than we can say for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 winning Anime of the Year, as many fans made clear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
